    Identify the thread of this screw from my boat

    Yep , most early manufacturers had their own spec's and nothing else would fit . Still see the odd thing with whitworth fasteners . An older man I used to work with gave me a (pretty much ) full set of whitworth tools, which whilst not my most used tools they have been handy a fair few times .🙂

    Having that clearance isnt ideal but its probly no worse than any motor with a bit of wear.......but it would bug me 🙂. My bushes have a cut down the side of them so packing them did work for me . Greasing them wont take up clearance but it will make them feel better for a while . Probly your...

    When boating, always ___________________

    So , just to be clear ,if your boat circled and ran someone over you could live with that......and no one would sue you . Im being facetious , but I think that a runaway boat is better blasting across a lake than circling where peeps are gathered . End of the day once the boat has got away...

    Tbh I just been thinkin about this as I have yet to make my maiden voyage in my 3.8m inflatable/18hp Tohatsu and .....in a nutshell its so so so much easier and quite possibly less fatal to attach that lanyard than it would be to deal with falling out without it attached.
